The best ones feel light rather than heavy.
Not every culture uses the same phrases.
What reads as warm in one place can feel odd in another.
The goal is warmth, not distance.
A written note carries no voice, so words must do the work.

Opening a message
The greeting is the first piece of 邮件敬语.

Keep it short
One line of greeting is enough for a working message.
